search for a list of filenames

Feb 9, 2012 3:30 PM

So you've got back a list of chosen files from a client.  They are made up of images that are spread over 3 disks in as many folders as there are files, but they are all in your lightroom catalogue.

 

You've generated a file list by using a batch command* to get something that looks like this...

 

_MG_0833-2.jpg

_MG_0951.jpg

_MG_1088.jpg

_MG_1225.jpg

_MG_1875.jpg

_MG_2598.jpg

_MG_2606 -2.jpg...

 

 

and then stripped out the .jpg to leave just the filenames.

 

Is there a way to just search for that list in LR, or will I have to do one at a time?
